    In retrospect, Tuco was full-blooded cartel, wouldn't he already have been slinging Fring's product? Walt probably wouldn't have had to try too hard to find Gus, he'd have been curious when he found out about Tuco having pounds of blue.

      They had multiples of the same exact model,
      so
      unless Jinny/Ginny bought batches of identical gifts for the kids in the family, it wouldn't be possible.
      Ginny would have to be pretty forgetful or excessive to also buy batches of gifts and just not end up gifting them at all.
      It would take A LOT of those Etch-A-Sketch toys to get enough material to do what they did.

    If we are pointing out small details, you cant use sketches to make thermite. the Aluminum is not pure in those things its like 60%. you can also just buy thrumite at a chemical or industrial shop. It also most likey would not work to break the lock, it needs to be funneled, also also it burns bright enough to be seen for miles, its kind of the last thing I would use to brake a lock while thieving.

    The rv and it's engine issues crack me up. They always play some generic sound of what is a gasoline engine "dieseling" an issue that became extremely rare due to the advent of electronic fuel injection. Also a phenomenon that only happens after the engine has been shut off. Power to the distributor has been turned off. The engine continues to "run" from raw fuel igniting from hot spots in the combustion chamber.
